    Episode 19: Kelly O'Shanassy

    Kelly O'Shanassy is one of Australia's most recognised environmental leaders, having served as CEO of the Australian Conservation Foundation for over a decade. In this episode, Kelly reflects on what it means to lead an organisation through moments of both progress and frustration, and shares how a deep, personal love of the natural world has sustained her through the demands of that work. She offers a frank and thoughtful perspective on what it takes to influence government — what works, what doesn't, and why long-term relationships and patience are as important as any campaign. Kelly's insights and reflections are a reminder that meaningful environmental change is rarely won quickly, but that the people who pursue it most effectively tend to carry both conviction and an enduring sense of hope.
